  13. Re: Joining wires or using connectors / junction boxes

    I would remind you that all wires should be securely held down with cable ties or P-clips to stop the joins flexing. Movement at joints is the most likely place for failure.

    Re: Proximity switches or limit switches

    You may wish to revise the end-on approach, the first time you jog into and crush a switch. Don't ask me how I know. They work just as well when the profile just glides in from the side.
